EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 3: The Charge is Ordered, 1635-60 by Jacques Courtois captures the intensity and chaos of a battlefield during the seventeenth century. In this black and white etching, we are transported to a time when armed forces relied on horses as their primary mode of transportation. The image showcases a group of soldiers in full armor mounted on powerful steeds, readying themselves for battle. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to their country and cause. With weapons at the ready, they await the command to charge into action. Jacques Courtois skillfully depicts the energy and anticipation that fills the air before combat commences. The background people add depth to the scene, emphasizing that war affects not only those directly involved but also innocent bystanders caught in its path. This artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by men who fought bravely for their nations centuries ago. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand what warfare looked like during this period. Plate 3: The Charge is Ordered is part of an impressive collection housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to educate viewers about military tactics employed during this era. As we gaze upon this print, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that war continues to shape our world today.
